Backyard Birders

Our goal is to appreciate, understand and identify birds in our backyards and the environs of Placitas. The format of our meetings can range from simply identifying birds at our feeders, to hosting a speaker on subjects relating to birding, or bird walks in around our local areas. The host of each meeting will choose their topic of interest. Meetings are held in the members' homes. We meet monthly on the 4th Thursday at 10:00 a.m., January through October. We will email all the members, as we get closer to the meeting dates with the name and address of the host and the topic that will be discussed. Backyard Birders began in 2012 All members are welcome!
